【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
四个选择项的含义分别是“关于、例如、特别是、例如”。
这里表明的是prominent cases与the trial of Rosemary West之间的关系。
可以看出，后者也是一个案件，应该是前者中的一个，所以可以排除[A]项，而[B]项for example经常在其后加“，”这里并没有“，”，所以要排除。
从下文可以看出，payments to witness 是一件很普通的事情，并不是仅仅出现在the trial of Rosemary West一案中，因此表示特定指示的[C]项也不合适。
这里只能选择[D]项，表示例举。
第2题
A tightening
B intensifying
C focusing
D fastening
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
从文章的第二句话，我们可以看出大致是要对新闻进行司法控制，“will strictly control”表明以后会逐渐严格起来。
这里应该选择[A]项tightening，意为“上紧，固定，紧密”，同时也有“严厉起来”的意思。
而[B]、[C]、[D]三项的含义分别是“加剧、集中、扎紧”，没有“逐渐严厉，严格起来”的意思。
第3题
A sketch
B rough
C preliminary
D draft
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
bill在这里意为“法案，法律”。
法案的内容与证人向新闻界案件情况的问题有关。
从上下文可以看出，该法案还没有生效，是政府的计划和打算，因此这样。

In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life.

They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “ wceome from Hamburg. “ Oneof the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea.

Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “ patriots ” by thinking it only rseefers to tho fighters who fight for their country.

When humans first (1) , they were like newborn children, unable to usethis (2) tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for mankind's future (3) and cultural growth increased.Many linguists believe that evolution is (4) for our ability to produce and use language. They (5) that our highly evolved brain provides us (6) an innate language ability not found inlower (7) . Proponents of this innateness theory say thatour (8) for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, (9) a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical (10) times for language development.Current (11) of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities isundeniable. (12) , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in (13) grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being (14) to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the (15) of their first language have become firmly fixed.(16) some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who havebeen (17) from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that (18) with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language (19) than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. (20) , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.A generatedB evolvedC bornD originated【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查动词。

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试真题及荅案
2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here: the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere: and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it´ s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it´ s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city´s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city´ s bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, eventhe illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city´ s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.第46题The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that______.A.they share the same longingB.they are in pursuit of dreamsC.they are proud of their birthplaceD.they wish to live in another place第47题In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______.A.powerfulB.diverseC.specialrge第48题The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York______.A.favors the luckyB.favors the localsC.is a city of inequalityD.is a city of opportunities第49题People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that______.A.challenge themB.suit them wellC.pay them wellD.raise their status第50题It is implied in the text that New York is______.A.a tolerant cityB.a wealthy cityC.a mythical cityD.a historical city上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.We´ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman´s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your´weaknesses´ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site´s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you´re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don´ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don´t always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it´s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition.
